Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

LatviaBut there of course is tradeoff. It feels damp, there for sure is black mold, beds and pillows are uncomfortable, common space is small, problems with getting room code as we noticed few of people during our stay knocked on outer door to be let in. It is not clean, everything is old and broken. I think the owner should fix this thing up a bit and make sure it is cleaned properly, it would do wonders for reviews. I bet people would be ok to pay more as well.
I think the location and price of this hostel is unbeatable.

TurkeyHostel personnel should spend more time in the hostel to keep it decent. Hostel have potential but need more security and cleaning.
It was cheap. If you re only gonna stay one night and you need only a bed for the night, then this is okay. The outside door was always open. People were sleeping in common areas. At midnight someone broke into our room with physical force. But thankfully left without explaining why he did that. Toilets were dirty. And very small. It was impossible to do your business comfortably. Bathrooms were okay. Mine was clean. Bed was thin but at least clean. There was electricity outlets next to bed. Which is always great. Internet was not good. it took too long to upload photos and videos to instagram. There is no locker inside the room, no place to put your things. I kept my day backpack in the bed with me during the night. Others belongings were all on the floor. Lockers are on the hallway. But noone care enough to use their own number. The locked assigned to my bed was occupied. I took another random number hoping someone else wont break it. Fortunately nothing happened. I dont regret it. Cause i only use it to sleep. Left very early for hikes and came back and slept. If you need more from a hostel, look somewhere else.

LatviaNo reception, gave us a room that is full, we had to search for free beds ourselves. Some of the lockers were broken, some was full of random things. At some point there was no toilet paper. Fridge full of nasty food, showers full with old razors and product botles. Beds didnt feel safe, they were loud, squeeky and vobely. We also helped other people to find free beds, because they also received a code for full room (not ours). No one answered the phone.
Bedding looked kinda clean, good location

PolandThe room and bathroom were very dirty. The linen was also dirty and was only changed after we asked the staff. The entire room was covered in dust and dirt, and it smelled of mold. White towels looked grey. Everything was worn-out — literally nothing looked fresh or new. The shower was dirty and rusty. The walls were not soundproofed at all. We received no instructions about breakfast delivery or the entry code during check-in. Our breakfast was not delivered, which was especially inconvenient due to the holiday and the fact that shops and restaurants were closed.
The location is great, we were allowed to leave our stuff and to check-in earlier than 14:00

United StatesThe door to our room was completely off the hinges, the bathroom sink was full and flooded, the bathroom doors had warped from absorbing water that you could hardly shut them, the kitchen area was dark, cold, no bowls. No curtain whatsoever on the one window, the other window (way up high) had a broken latch and wouldn’t close and it was cold & noisy outside. My bed was broken but nobody did anything to fix any of this garbage. Horrible

AustraliaThe people staying up in the room with light on till well after midnight and then proceeding to talk at 3am. This was not however the hostels fault. Maybe some rules should be explained when people check in. There were simply NOT enough showers so even though they may have been cleaned with that amount of people they were always filthy.
It was very close to the centre of Zakopane.
